Question

a 10000 kg airplane lands, descending a verticsl distance of 10 km
while travelling 100 kmmeasured along the ground what is the
plane's loss of potential energy?

Neha Gupta · Accepted Answer

Loss in potential energy depends on the decrease in height
Loss in potential energy = mass×acceleration due to gravity×height= 10000×10×10000= 109 joule
